A great feature of our Lean Eating Coaching Programs is the body transformation contest we run for men and women: every 6 months, we give big prize money away for the best body transformations in the program.

For the current coaching group – which started in January 2012 and is wrapping up now – we’ve committed over $75,000 in total prize money.

And for the upcoming group – which is kicking off in on January 9th, 2013 – we’ve upped the ante to $100,000 in total prizes.

There’s $25,000 on the line for the top male body transformation and $25,000 for the top female body transformation. Plus, we put up another $25,000 in special surprise rewards along the way.

Over the last week or so, the coaches and I have spent countless hours poring over physique photos, weight loss numbers, body composition data and participation records in order to choose a handful of finalists.

We’ve had a helluva time narrowing it down. Dozens upon dozens of folks have changed their bodies, and their lives, in spectacular ways.

I can’t be more sincere when I say that the changes I saw in the men and women of this last cohort (both the physical and the mental/emotional) are among the most amazing I’ve seen in my entire career.

So at this point, I’m reaching out to all our PN readers. I need your help in determining the one man and one woman most worthy of the two grand prizes.

Our Female Finalists

These women came in all shapes and sizes, from all parts of the globe, and from all walks of life. Check out what they were able to accomplish in just 12 months of eating and exercising properly.

And remember, with Lean Eating coaching, there are no crash diets, no Biggest Loser-type bootcamps, no full-time chefs, no full-time personal trainers.

These are real women adding fitness into their lives one step at a time, building on each day’s successes, and learning how to maintain what they’ve accomplished for life.

How To Vote

When casting your vote, it’s important to remember that we’re not rewarding the best bodies per se. We’re rewarding the best transformations.

Indeed, in the Lean Eating program we don’t expect folks to start off looking like fitness models. Heck, we don’t even expect folks to end up looking like fitness models.

Rather, we’re simply looking for winners who’ve made the most dramatic changes in their own bodies, starting wherever they were at the beginning of the program. (And, as you’ll see, folks started all over the place.)

Truly, the Lean Eating Coaching Program is for men and women of all shapes and sizes. And your vote should reflect who you think created the most dramatic changes over the course of the last 12 months.

To cast your vote for the top female transformation, click here. You’ll be taken to a specific discussion thread in the Precision Nutrition Member Zone where you can vote for who you think deserves the grand prize.

We can only work with a limited number of clients. And spots sell out every time we open them up. So adding your name to this list gives you a huge advantage. First of all, you get the chance to sign up 24 hours before everyone else. Even better, you’ll receive a big discount at registration.

So put your name on the list below. Because, as always, clients are accepted on a first come, first served, and when spots are gone, they’re gone.
